Brentwood College School

Brentwood provides a modern, West Coast learning experience for global-minded students who embrace the values of grit and joy.

Brentwood is a progressive, co-educational boarding school for Grades 9 to 12 located on a spectacular oceanfront campus on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. At Brentwood, student choice is a unique part of our culture and a deciding factor in who attends the School. It’s why this place is so special. We believe when students truly choose to be here, and they’re surrounded by a family of like-minded friends and supporters, they can be anything. This philosophy creates a warm, friendly, and passionate community of students from over 40 countries around the world who gain the independence and skills necessary to succeed in the post-secondary world.?

Since 1923, we have worked diligently to establish a modern, transformative place of learning and leadership, mirroring the educational experience of a small college rather than a traditional boarding school. Prospective students are drawn to our school’s innovative tripartite approach to academics, arts, and athletics; as well as our nurturing boarding environment and strong university preparatory programs. Our unique tripartite scheduling creates unrivalled opportunities for student discovery and growth. Not only is Brentwood a remarkable place to make lifelong friends while gaining a world-class education, Brentwood truly is where students choose to be.

Summary: As a university preparatory school, the pursuit of academic excellence is one of our school’s fundamental aims. We strive to help students reach levels of achievement that truly reflect their ability, attitude, and effort.

To create ideal learning conditions, we provide students with the required technology, small class sizes, and low student-teacher ratios. When it is advantageous, we also group students by ability. Our academic curriculum drives our prep school mandate and also meets the prescribed BC (British Columbia) provincial learning outcomes.

Brentwood has a long tradition of seeking new and innovative ways to enhance learning for each individual student. Our new Personalized Enrichment Program allows qualified students to access courses outside of our regular curricula by incorporating blended learning using external educational partners.

Our programs are shaped to prepare Brentwood graduates for post-secondary education and careers in a rapidly changing global workplace. We also expand our students’ academic experiences via online courses from universities such as Stanford.

Skill development through problem-solving, collaborative projects, and technology integration feature strongly as pedagogical goals. Academics at our school establish a love of learning that extends well beyond our school gates.

Summary: Community, challenge, opportunity, and support: these are words Brentonians use to describe life at Brentwood. They also talk about making friends for life.

Ask prospective students about the thought of going to class on Saturday morning: the response is likely to be negative. Ask Brentwood students about finishing academic classes by 1:15pm every day, and having afternoons free for athletics and the arts: their response is positive. Brentwood's schedule is unique and few Brentonians would change it. They like Brentwood's distinctive rhythm, a product of our tripartite program scheduling.

Student Life

Summary: Brentwood College School is a home away from home for 406 boarders and 104 local day students. Although over 30 countries are represented on campus, most Brentwood students hail from Western Canada, and the US Pacific Northwest, as well as a significant number, are expatriate Canadians whose parents are working overseas.

In this international mix, Brentonians have grown up in many cultures. From the gentle slopes of the Napa Valley to the blazing desert of the Gulf States, they come from six continents, tropical and arctic climates, and almost every time zone. While all students speak and study in English, a student's first language may be Russian or Mandarin, Spanish or Japanese, Turkish or Thai. Imagine the possibilities for growth within such a diverse student community.

Summary: Director of University Counselling, Rick Rodrigues, B.Ed. (University of Manitoba), and American College Consultant, Tim Zenker, A.B. (Princeton University), M.A.L.S. (Wesleyan University) work with students, parents, and advisors to help students apply for admission to universities and colleges. Through self-evaluation, research, and counselling, students are helped to reach sound decisions regarding their future education.
